Shri Shankara Cancer Hospital

Shri Shankara Cancer Hospital is found at the 1st Cross within the Shankara Matt Premises in Shankarapuram. This is right in the Basavanagudi area. It’s a bit of a specialized place because we mainly deal with cancer patients. The hospital is located on the grounds of the Matt, which gives it a bit of a different feel compared to a standard city hospital. It’s a bit more peaceful in some ways, though the work we do is very serious. We have different floors for treatments and for people who have to stay for a long time. Basavanagudi is an old part of Bangalore, and we have been part of this community for years. People come from all over the state to visit us here at the Shankara Matt Premises. The hallways are usually full of families waiting for news or for their turn. We try to keep things organized, but with so many people, it can get a little crowded. The rooms are plain and functional, designed for long-term care. Our staff is used to the heavy nature of the work, but they just get on with it. It’s not an easy place to work or visit, but it’s an important one for the people who need this specific kind of help. We have a space where the treatment can happen without too much extra noise or distraction. Being in Shankarapuram means we are surrounded by a lot of history and old trees. It is why the Shankara Matt Premises works well for a hospital like ours.
